Abstract
Based on the own design of a model railway landscape a further development of the approach of the three landscapes takes place. Further aspects were added to the modes of the native normal landscape, the common sense understanding of landscape and the landscape-related special knowledge. On the one hand, this concerns the categories material, virtual and augmented, as well as the media of landscape construction (such as photos, paintings or even exact models). Based on the extended categorization, considerations about the concrete design of a model railroad are presented and generalized against the background of the current state of research. The general considerations and the extended theoretical framework are exemplified by retracing a model train journey from Wanne-Eickel Central Station to Wattenscheid Central Station via Bochum Central Station and other intermediate stops.
